The next Medieval Longsword beginners’ course in Helsinki will run on Tuesday evenings from October 7th to November 25th. Class runs from 1800-1930. Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes early to get changed etc.

The beginners’ course is suitable for anyone interested in the Art of Swordsmanship. No experience of any kind is needed.
We will show you how our art is developed from the historical sources, and teach you everything from basic warm-up exercises to safe pair practice with the longsword. The goal of the course is to prepare to take part in our regular classes safely.
The style we will cover comes from Fiore dei Liberi’s Il Fior di Battaglia written in 1410, and will include some of his basic defences against dagger attacks, basic longsword strikes, and basic longsword defences.
